Policy on Transparency and Conflict of Interest Policy on transparency and conflict of interest Review, 2020 Policy on transparency and conflict of interest I. INTRODUCTION The Mennonite Social Action Commission (CASM), is a non-profit Christian Institution, founded within the Mennonite Evangelical Church that works as a Non-Governmental Organization, formed by a General Assembly made up of pastors and Mennonite leaders, other Christian leaders. and members of the communities where the organization accompanies the character of these members is of Voluntary form, this assembly delegates the political, strategic, operative action of the institution in a Board of Directors, management, technical personnel, and support of foreign volunteers and volunteers. national The aforementioned instances have agreed to develop a Compliance Transparency Policy and mechanisms in all the actions in the different programs and projects that the organization executes. II. INSTITUTIONAL PHILOSOPHY CASM is based on the fact that God is the center of the universe and the family the fundamental unit of society. Under this Christian concept, of the Anabaptist-Mennonite tradition, based on love, peace, justice, non-violence and solidarity, is that as an institution, we believe that all families have the right to social integration, to the use and rational use of resources, to have more opportunities and greater capacity for management and negotiation, so that they can obtain greater participation in the social, economic, political, cultural, spiritual and, therefore, greater well-being, better condition and quality of life. III. INSTITUTIONAL DEFINITION · CASM is a Christian institution, facilitator of integral human development processes, non-profit, which is based on the Mennonite principles of the Anabaptist tradition (peace, Justice, non- violence and solidarity). · CASM is an institution that works hand in hand with community, municipal and regional organizations, made up of men and women in conditions of greater social disadvantage, so that they can be strengthened and empowered as representative and democratic structures, articulated to the local governments, contribute to the integral development of their municipalities. · CASM is an institution that provides timely attention to families in situations of Emergency, without political, economic, religious and social distinction, that provides continuous support to the most vulnerable families in their social and productive reactivation and preparation for future disasters. · CASM is an institution that promotes and practices justice, equity and democracy Pluralist, which is why it participates in and influences important issues at the regional, national and international levels, in order to contribute to generate positive changes, aimed at improving the quality of life of the vulnerable and excluded population of our country . Policy on transparency and conflict of interest Vision and mission Vision To be a faith-based Mennonite organization of national and international reference that provides high-quality services to democratic processes and comprehensive human development with a focus on rights, gender equality, age and multiculturalism. Mission CASM strengthens self-management capacities of rights holders such as families and social organizations, who seek to face economic, social, environmental and political injustice. IV. THEOLOGICAL PERSPECTIVE OF POLITICS Corruption has become a hot topic in Honduras. Not because before it did not exist, but because our slow walk towards democracy means that now, due to various circumstances, a series of cases of corruption are emerging that were previously (in less democratic times) anonymous and silent. The truth is that one of the main causes of poverty in Honduras is corruption, which exists at all levels, from the cheating student in the exams and the small tradesman who cheats on the weights to the politicians located on the cusp of power. In the Bible it is: The wicked are condemned whose mouth overflows with fraud and folded. Ps 10, 7: Make it clear that I will not dwell in my house who commits fraud. Sal 101, 7 About bribery (buying an official) the following is said: Dt 16, 19: You will not be partial or accept bribes, that the bribe blinds the eyes of the wise and falsifies the cause of the innocent. Deut 27, 25: Cursed whoever lets himself be bribed to kill an innocent. Is 33, 15: The one who shakes his hand is rejected, rejecting the bribe. 1 Sam 8, 3; It is 4, 5; Ne 6, 12; Is 1, 23; Am 5, 12; Mi 7, 3; Ps 15, 5; Ps 26, 10; Job 15, 34; Pro 15, 27; Pro 17, 8; Pro 17, 23; Ec 7, 7 In Lk 3, 14 John the Baptist tells the soldiers that if they want to fulfill the will of God they should not "extort" anyone. It also condemns those who commit fraud in Rom 1, 29; 1 Co 6, 10 and 1 Tim 1, 10. In Lk 19, 8 the converted Zacchaeus tells Jesus: "Whoever has defrauded, I will restore him four times more." Obviously it is necessary to define that for there to be transparency there must also be clear rules and essential limits that reduce arbitrariness, showing that it can and can not be done at all levels of the staff. V. GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS ON POLICY The main objective of this policy is the assembly, board of directors and personnel of the Mennonite Social Action Commission, which we are obliged to ensure that this policy is faithfully fulfilled by deducting the responsibilities of the case to each instance when the parties are violated. precepts later enunciated. A true practice of transparency enables effective governance, helps promote sustainable development, democratic processes, and fair business practices. Therefore, being transparent helps the achievement of our vision by confirming that as a Mennonite Christian organization we Policy on transparency and conflict of interest are committed to supporting by our example families and movements committed to transforming the country for a more just society. CASM is an organization that handles national and international aid funds, this aid is destined to promote development to impoverished families and organizations in our country, as these resources come from donations from church members, from taxes of some citizens of other countries that are destined by their governments for development aid, which demands a great responsibility in ensuring that these resources are properly spent. As members of CASM, we are responsible before God, our institutional authorities as well as before the governmental authorities for the defense and promotion of the highest standards of ethical and professional conduct in the management of resources and in showing honesty and transparency in the actions of the organization. For purposes of this policy we define transparency as the clarity and accessibility to information and the way of acting without hiding anything and doing everything in the public eye in a healthy and healthy way and corruption as "the abuse of entrusted power, to obtain Private profits, this includes bribery, fraud, embezzlement and extortion, and some of the examples will be detailed below, Corruption has many manifestations can take the form of money, or the provision of services in order to obtain advantages such as favorable treatment, special protection, additional services, or reduction of delays. It is important to realize that corruption is not exclusively a matter of money, it is to favor a person without capacity with a job, services or other favors, can in certain circumstances also be interpreted as corruption" VI. GENERAL OBJECTIVE OF THE POLICY Establish a series of principles and mechanisms that guide the operational management characterized by a high level of personal and organizational integrity, in order to show transparency and zero tolerance for corruption in the internal and external actions of the institution. VII. PRINCIPLES THAT DO NOT FAVOR TRANSPARENCY Below is a list of the principles that do not help Transparency 1. Conflicts of interest 2. Abuse of power and extortion 3. Fraud and embezzlement 4. Bribery 5. Nepotism and favoritism 6. Gifts 1. Conflict of interests We will avoid any actual undue conflict of interest to potential between our personal interests and the interest of CASM Avoiding conflicts of interest is the general principle in the fight against corruption. The conflict of interest arises from situations in which you, as an employee of CASM, have a private interest that may influence your professional performance. Conflicts of interest can occur quite frequently and are not necessarily about corruption; what is important is the way in which they are identified and managed if conflict of interest situations are not correctly identified and managed, can jeopardize the integrity of CASM, and can result in corruption. Each member of staff is expected to demonstrate good judgment, and in case of doubt, communicate with their superior. In matters of conflict of interest, it is important to use good judgment and common Policy on transparency and conflict of interest sense to make the right decisions. The following principles are examples, in some way, of conflicts of interest. If there is any conflict of interest in the supplier selection processes and the procedure for purchasing or contracting professional services, you must notify your immediate boss and / or the general administration and executive management to make the relevant decisions. 2. Abuse of power We will not seek to influence any person or institution for private purposes through the use of our official position or by offering personal advantages,

  • Business Ethics: a Panacea for Reducing Corruption and Enhancing National Development
    Nigerian Journal of Business Education (NIGJBED) Volume 5 No.2, 2018 BUSINESS ETHICS: A PANACEA FOR REDUCING CORRUPTION AND ENHANCING NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT AKPANOBONG, UYAI EMMANUEL, Ph.D. Department of Vocational Education, Faculty of Education, University of Uyo Email:[email protected] Abstract In recent times there are scandals of unethical behaviours, corrupt practices, lack of accountability and transparency amongst public officials, political office holders, business managers and employees in the country. Therefore, there is an urgent need for public sector institutions to strengthen the ethics of their profession, integrity, honesty, transparency, confidentiality, and accountability in the public service. The paper further attempt to discuss the need for business ethics and some practices and behaviours which undermined the ethical behaviours of public official with strong emphasis on corruptions causes and preventions, conflicts of interest, consequences of unethical behaviour and resources management. The paper also outlined some measures on how to combat the evil called corruption in public service and business organizations. It is concluded that if all measures are taken into consideration the National Development may be achieved. Keywords: Ethics, unethical, transparency, accountability, corruption. Introduction In every business organization, there must be a laid down rules, values norms, order and other guiding principles which may be in form of ethics. The essence of this is to guide both the employer and the employees in achieving the organizational goals and at the same time help in checks and balances. Luanne (2017 saw ethics as the principles and values an individual uses to govern his activities and decisions. Therefore, Business Ethics could be described as that aspect of corporate governance that has to do with the moral values of managers encouraging them to be transparent in business dealing (Chienweike, 2010).

  • Social Accountability International (SAI) and Social Accountability Accreditation Services (SAAS)
    Social Accountability International (SAI) and Social Accountability Accreditation Services (SAAS) Profile completed by Erika Ito, Kaylena Katz, and Chris Wegemer Last edited June 25, 2014 History of organization In 1996, the Social Accountability International (SAI) Advisory Board was created to establish a set of workplace standards in order to “define and verify implementation of ethical workplaces.” This was published as the first manifestation of SA8000 in 1997.1 The SAI Advisory Board was created by the Council on Economic Priorities (CEP) in response to public concern about working conditions abroad. Until the summer of 2000, this new entity was known as the Council on Economic Priorities Accreditation Agency, or CEPAA.2 Founded in 1969, the Council on Economic Priorities, a largely corporate­funded nonprofit research organization, was “a public service research organization dedicated to accurate and impartial analysis of the social and environmental records of corporations” and aimed to “to enhance the incentives for superior corporate social and environmental performance.”3 The organization was known for its corporate rating system4 and its investigations of the US defense industry.5 Originally, SAI had both oversight of the SA8000 standard and accreditation of auditors. In 2007, the accreditation function of SAI was separated from the organization, forming Social Accountability Accreditation Services (SAAS).6 The operations and governance of SAI and SAAS remain inexorably intertwined; SAI cannot function without the accreditation services of SAAS, and SAAS would not exist without SAI’s maintenance of the SA8000 standards and training guidelines. They see each other as a “related body,” which SAAS defines as “a separate legal entity that is linked by common ownership or contractual arrangements to the accreditation body.”7 Because of this interdependence, they are often treated by activists and journalists as a single entity.

  • Measuring Transparency: Towards a Greater Understanding of Systemic Transparence and Accountability
    ISP: Page 1 MEASURING TRANSPARENCY: TOWARDS A GREATER UNDERSTANDING OF SYSTEMIC TRANSPARENCE AND ACCOUNTABILITY Andrew Schnackenberg WP-09-02 Copyright Department of Organizational Behavior Weatherhead School of Management Case Western Reserve University Cleveland OH 44106-7235 e-mail: [email protected] ISP: Page 2 MEASURING TRANSPARENCY: TOWARDS A GREATER UNDERSTANDING OF SYSTEMIC TRANSPARENCE AND ACCOUNTABILITY ABSTRACT: This paper investigates a number of common definitions for transparency employed in the fields of finance and economics by deconstructing the assumptions underpinning its meaning and measurement. Little consensus is found to exist around a single, testable definition for transparency. It is proposed that transparency reflects the level of disclosure, accuracy and clarity in representations. The consequents of transparency are investigated through a game theory model. It is argued that transparent representations benefit the systems to which they are applied. It is further argued that players with higher levels of transparency will be at a competitive disadvantage relative to less transparent players. The principal antecedents to transparency are investigated by exploring a rational model of communication. It is argued that transparency is largely based on the systemic character of information senders. Transparency strategy is seen to moderate the relationship between systemic character and representational transparency. Keywords: Transparency; Accountability; Systems; Disclosure; Accuracy; Clarity ISP: Page 3 INTRODUCTION “Markets rely on rules and laws, but those rules and laws in turn depend on truth and trust. Conceal truth or erode trust, and the game becomes so unreliable that no one will want to play. The markets will empty and share prices will collapse, as ordinary people find other places to put their money – into their houses, maybe, or under their beds” - Charles Handy (Handy, 2002: 49) The Latin etymology of the word transparency is bipartite, consisting of trāns – meaning “across” or “through” – and pāreō – meaning “be seen”.

  • Trust and Transparency in the Supply Chain a Globescan Ebrief
    Trust and Transparency in the Supply Chain A GlobeScan eBrief February 2017 Supply Chain – A Matter of Trust Diminishing trust in a range of institutions has become a central issue, especially when it comes to the relationships between business and society. Trust in global companies and national governments is especially low, as evidenced by GlobeScan’s annual tracking of trust in institutions. And in an age of increasing anti-globalization and nativism, this should be of great concern. In this eBrief, we look at the drivers of trust and relate these to the supply chains of global companies, a critical foundation of the world’s economy. From the 20th Century Onward Milton Friedman’s paradigm that the only social responsibility of business is to use its resources and engage in activities designed to increase profits, so long as it stays within the rules of the game, is said to have made him become the most influential economist of the 20th century. Even if this was ever true, this paradigm no longer aligns with current societal expectations. Almost two-thirds of Trust and Transparency in the Supply Chain: A GlobeScan eBrief consumers around the world expect companies to do more than just make money – and they expect governments to play a role in this as well. These expectations have been trending upward for the past 15 years, and reached an all-time high in 2016. When asked more specifically, the global public has an extensive list of expectations of companies, with ensuring safe products on top, followed by providing fair wages, not harming the environment and ensuring responsible supply chains.

  • Chapter 4 Accountability and Transparency
    4. ACCOUNTABILITY AND TRANSPARENCY – 79 Chapter 4 Accountability and transparency Businesses and citizens expect the delivery of regulatory outcomes from government and regulatory agencies, and the proper use of public authority and resources to achieve them. Regulators are generally accountable to three groups of stakeholders: i) ministers and the legislature; ii) regulated entities; and iii) the public. This chapter provides guidance on the accountability structures and transparency mechanisms that should be in place for effective regulators. THE GOVERNANCE OF REGULATORS © OECD 2014 80 – 4. ACCOUNTABILITY AND TRANSPARENCY Principles for accountability and transparency Accountability and transparency to the minister and the legislature 1. The expectations for each regulator should be clearly outlined by the appropriate oversight body. These expectations should be published within the relevant agency’s corporate plan. 2. Regulators should report to ministers or legislative oversight committees on all major measures and decisions on a regular basis and as requested. 3. Governments and/or the legislator should monitor and review periodically that the system of regulation is working as intended under the legislation. In order to facilitate such reviews the regulator should develop a comprehensive and meaningful set of performance indicators. Accountability and transparency to regulated entities 4. Information and access to appeal processes and systems should be made easily available to regulated entities by regulators. Regulators should establish and publish processes for arm’s length internal review of significant delegated decisions (such as those made by inspectors). 5. Regulated entities should have the right of appeal of decisions that have a significant impact on them, preferably through a judicial process.
